Hey Folks,
My name is Graeme and I guess you could say I do a lot of things... I am a cartoonist and also an aspiring singer/songwriter... My asperations are small at this point, but they are asperations none the less!
I started this strip a while back and it has since developed into what it is today. It is called "Dot Dot Dot..". The idea behind the strip is kinda simple really! To capture that one funny moment in a conversation... Snapshots of my characters "Earnest and Elroy's" conversations, thoughts and happenings...
My strip is really a just a panel... It is simple and clean, I want readers to focus on what the characters are saying and allow their imagination to create the situation around it. I guess it goes along with my other minimalist ideals in other regards of my life, especially my music... I guess!
My work has been published several times in the University of Guelph weekly student paper "The Ontarian". I created a slideshow with a bunch of my comics below. The same cartoons can also be viewed in the "pics" section on this page Let me know what you think... I also have posted some early works to show a bit of the evolution of the characters... enjoy!
As far as my cartooning influence go... The likes of Bill Waterson who gave us Calvin and Hobbs . If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Watterson. Others would include Max Cannon creator of Red Meat , and Jim Toomey the creator of Sherman's Lagoon . There are others but these guys are the ones who I can think of, and find links to at the moment!
I love drawing cartoons, but music is my other artistic passion. I've been writing songs for a couple of years now and things are going pretty good these days with it. One of my songs, "Lies and Liars and All..." is posted on this page. You can check out a couple of my other songs on my music page on myspace music at...

Be bad... it's way more fun than being good! Tootles for now!
Cheers,
